Aamir Khan has yet again managed to get his film for the Oscars. Taare Zameen Par is going to the Oscars. They say luck favours the brave. We spoke to two prominent astrologists who gave their take on current planetary situations in Aamir's birthchart and what period awaits him in the near future.

Astrologist Rajeev Chitguppi's predictions -

Aamir Khan is born on 14th March 1965 has Cancer as his Ascendant as well as Rashi.

Transit: Cancer has already completed the most of Saade-saathi (saturn's cycle of 7 11 years) period. So great times ahead.

Dasha: He is currently running Sun dasha. In his chart sun is posited in 9th house, Pisces, whose lord is Jupiter. This indicates fame through projects and contracts overseas and attainment of higher status and eminence. A big overseas contract is on its way. It also indicates acquiring higher level of philosophical approach in life. Sun is in Purvabhadra Nakshatra whose lord is again Jupiter. Jupiter is well posited in Aries i.e. 10th house indicating profession. In Navamsha, Jupiter's position gets even better, i.e. Sagittarius. Mars is Aamir's yogakaraka as well as lord of profession and it is in his house of finance, Leo, a friendly house. Now the best part - Transit Jupiter, in 2008, is expecting all of them - 10th house, its lord and house of finance. This will ensure that 2008 is going to be a memorable year for Aamir, professionally and financially.

Antardasha: Aamir had Jupiter antardasha running till Mid 2008 which indicated very good results. Now he has a Saturn antardasha running till Mid 2009. Saturn is in 8th house indicating that his next project will require lots of research work to be done before it takes off. Saturn is very strong as it is vargottama in moolatrikona (aquarius). This promises great success in second half of 2008 as well.

Controversies and legal problems: The Rahu-Ketu axis involving many of his prominent planets like Venus, Mars and Saturn caused several legal and political hurdles on professional front in the last 18 months. He now needs to be more cautious about his health till end of 2009.

Numerologically he is number 5 and this confirms that 2008 is indeed going to be a good year for him. Astro Numerologist Bhavikk Sanghvi -

"Aamir has entered his 44th year ( 4 + 4 = 8 ) which is a tough number, although it will not affect him to that extent because Number 8 gels well with Number 5. But he still needs to remain cautious as he might just invite unexpected trouble and / or minor health issues," predicts Bhavikk.

Bhavikk advises him to wear a Red Coral set in gold and / or a Pearl set in silver to bring in mental peace, stop unnecessary delays in his life ( whatsoever ) and to stay away from any health problems especially blood related.
